Crow Queen part 2: crows

there have been crows packing at my skin and yelling at me

these stupid crows have followed me around ever since I was little

mother says they're kissing my skin

but she never saw the cuts they leave

I am not a crow princess

they yell unintelligible nonsense at me

"why are you speaking to me like this?" I always plead

no answer.

"what did I do wrong? just leave me. my mind is in ruins." I beg.

no answer.

they are silent and violent as always.

"I am going to remove myself from this wretched earth! just you wait, crows."

"Caw caw. Don't do it! we need to be fed!" they cry

they only want me when I am weak

  • picking up the pieces

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

  • day dreamers

    like shifting shadows moving across walls and space

    I constantly reflect everything and everyone

    daydreamers like to envision a new world

    one where every cog in the machine does its job

    we get tired of being the mirror
